HONOLULU, HI, October 28, 2026 – Central Pacific Financial Corp. (NYSE: CPF) (the "Company"), parent company of Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank" or "CPB"), reported net income of $22.8 million, or $0.88 diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), for the third quarter of 2026. This compares to net income of $20.8 million, or diluted EPS of $0.80, in the prior quarter and $18.6 million, or diluted EPS of $0.69, in the same period last year. Results for the third quarter of 2025 included $1.5 million in pre-tax expenses related to the consolidation of the Company's former operations center into its main office. Excluding this item, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2025 was $19.7 million, or diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.73.

“We delivered another quarter of strong financial performance, driven by net interest margin expansion, disciplined expense management, and solid asset quality," said Arnold Martines, Chairman, President and CEO. "We believe we are well positioned to serve our customers, support our communities, and deliver meaningful value to our shareholders.”

Earnings Highlights

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $64.5 million, which increased by $1.6 million, or 2.6%, from the prior quarter, and increased by $3.2 million, or 5.2%, compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin ("NIM") for the third quarter of 2026 was 3.62%, an increase of 5 basis points ("bp" or "bps") from the prior quarter, and an increase of 13 bps from the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter increase in net interest income and NIM was primarily driven by an increase in loan yields and higher average balances and yields earned on investment securities.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a provision of $4.4 million in the prior quarter, and a provision of $4.2 million in the same quarter last year. The current quarter included a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, while the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures remained flat. In the prior quarter there was an increase to the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.1 million.

Other operating income for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $12.4 million, compared to $14.6 million in the prior quarter, and $13.5 million in the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance due to equity market volatility and the impact on corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $44.8 million, compared to $46.2 million in the prior quarter, and $47.0 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million and other expense of $1.0 million, due to lower deferred compensation expenses. The lower deferred compensation expense was related to equity market performance.

The efficiency ratio was 58.27% in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 59.62% in the prior quarter and 62.84% in the same quarter last year. In the same quarter last year, the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) was 60.81%, when excluding the $1.5 million in expenses related to the operations center consolidation.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 was 24.5%, compared to 22.6% in the prior quarter, and 21.4% in the same quarter last year. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax income and lower tax-exempt income.

interest-bearing deposits. The sequential quarter decrease in net interest income was also due to a $60.0 million decrease in average loans and two less days in the current quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a provision of $2.4 million in the prior quarter, and a provision of $4.2 million in the same quarter last year. The current quarter provision for credit losses included $2.7 million for credit losses on loans offset by a $0.3 million credit for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The decrease from the year ago quarter was primarily driven by lower loan balances and changes in the economic forecast used in our current expected credit losses model.

Other operating income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $11.6 million, compared to $14.2 million in the prior quarter, and $11.1 million in the same quarter last year. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance of $2.4 million and lower mortgage banking income of $0.5 million, partially offset by income related to a debit card program contract extension consideration of $0.7 million (included in other income). The decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance was largely driven by $1.4 million in death benefits recognized in the prior quarter, combined with equity market volatility and the impact on corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI") policies used to hedge deferred compensation expense.

Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $43.7 million, compared to $45.7 million in the prior quarter, and $42.1 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to lower salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million due to lower incentive accruals and lower deferred compensation expense, along with a reduction in legal and professional services of $0.5 million.

The efficiency ratio was 59.87% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 59.88% in the prior quarter and 61.16% in the same quarter last year.
